Congrats! Engineering sure can be tough. VT had a rule that you had to pass every in-major course with at least a C grade. You were allowed one 'slip up', after that you had to repeat the course. I got a C- my soph year and was in constant fear for the remaining 4 semesters. Glad you pulled it out!

So much for positive re-enforcement eh Jordan.

I hope you visit said adviser after you get your degree

What's worse was the severity of his comments lessened as my GPA increased.

It was incredibly stupid... and incredibly predictable. It was as if he was programmed to act that way.


When I graduate I doubt I'll visit him and rub it in his face, but I most certainly will write the university a kind letter outlining my career and his effect on it. [TINFOIL_HAT]Which based on the above, may not amount to anything if the powers at be, tell him to act that way. [/TINFOIL_HAT]
